This photograph of Swami and the tiger skin involves a miracle Bhagawan performed early in his life.   A hunter had shot and killed a tiger and was driving home when his car stalled near the Chitravathi River, which runs through Puttaparthi. The hunter could find no way to get his car to work. It wouldn't budge and the engine couldn't be started.   The driver of the car told the hunter that there was a lad in the village who was said to have miraculous powers. The hunter, in his frustration, sent the driver into Puttaparthi to find the miraculous young man.   When Our young Bhagawan returned with the driver, he scolded the hunter and said, "What did this tiger ever do to you to deserve to be hunted down and killed? This tiger was a mother and you left her two cubs alone to fend for themselves. Go back and take care of the tiger cubs."   With that said, Swami slapped the car and it was  fixed and ready to go. The Changed Hunter went back to the forest, found the tiger cubs and transported them to a zoo, where they could be well cared for.   Subsequently, he returned to Puttaparthi, gave Swami the skin of the tiger he had killed, and swore he would never hunt again.   That tiger skin and head is the one seen in the famous and Wonderful photograph of Swami above. ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------

 

 

The above Spectacular Photograph was taken in December, 1978, by Dr. Gersten. This photograph was taken from a Small hill overlooking Prasanthi Nilayam. The Very Dark oval spot seen floating in the sky, just to the right of center, is hovering right over the Prasanthi Mandir . At the same time unknown to many, some American Astronauts have reportedly seen a most wonderful Bright Light over Southern India, A Very Bright light that they could not account for at all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Photograph is one of the very Few taken when Swami blessed some Birthday Boys in Prasanthi Nilayam with Kumkum instead of Yellow Rice which Swami blesses with even to This very day, Bhagawan also wonderfully said that Day that The very positioning of the Kumkuam is such that the area between the Eyebrows is called "Agna" - the 6th chakra - meaning "command". It is said to control various levels of concentration attained through meditation. The central point of this area is the "Bindhu" wherein all experience is gathered in total concentration. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Photograph taken in December'1978 has a most wonderful Story, The Foreigner who took this Photograph Dr.Gersten came to Parthi in 1978 and all the Photos he took of Swami and everything in Parthi during that Trip were all Blacked out like the above Photograph, None of the Photographs came out well at all, they were very black as if the Film was exposed to the Sunlight. During that Trip he also visited many other parts of South and North India and all other Photos were picture Perfect. In 1987 when He came to Swami, Bhagawan called him for an Interview and told him that "Swami blanked out his Photographs as He wanted to use Swami's Photos to see whether Swami's Miracles were true or not ". Now that He was Purer in his Heart and Mind, Swami's Photographs came out Brilliantly.

Swami materialized these for a Devotee in 1971. Bhagawan said that the Earrings were worn by Goddess Lakshmi and the Conch shell represents the highest plane of consiousness.
